- Historians know: the false confidence & frequency with which Musk says “throughout history” signals the immediate historical mendacity that will follow. He hasn’t ever done the reading & makes up “facts” about Rome—which reached its pop. height around the 2ndC CE & didn’t “fall” from pop. decline.

- Thanks to everyone for your patience in waiting for this one. Releasing such a large video sometimes felt like trying to land an airliner... But I'm so grateful to everyone who has supported the show along the way.
- For the first time the channel has been able to shoot its own original reenactment footage, shot on location in Mongolia. This would never have been possible without the community supporting us.
- Great photos!
